For a general discussion about submitting bug reports (PR's), see
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributing/contrib-how.html#CONTRIB-GENERAL

For PR's related to ports, see
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/port-upgrading.html

Make sure that your PR uses the category "ports" and it will be reviewed
by the ports committers.
